An obligate parasite is a parasitic organism that cannot complete its life-cycle without suitable host. If an obligate parasite cannot obtain a host it will fail to reproduce.
Facultative parasite is a parasitic organism which does not depend on its host to continue its life-cycle.
Thus the main difference between the above mentioned host is that the obligate parasite can not complete its life cycle without a host whereas a facultative parasite can complete its life cycle even without a host.
Facultative parasite is a parasitic organism which does not depend on its host to continue its life-cycle.
Thus the main difference between the above mentioned host is that the obligate parasite can not complete its life cycle without a host whereas a facultative parasite can complete its life cycle even without a host.

Answer:
An obligate parasite or holoparasite is a parasitic organism that cannot complete its life-cycle without exploiting a suitable host. ... This is opposed to a facultative parasite, which can act as a parasite but does not rely on its host to continue its life-cycle.
